Circus coming to town on Thursday

Franchesca Cavallini The Carson & Barnes Circus will be at Apache Pass for shows at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. Thursday, with a portion of ticket sales benefiting the Rockdale Rotary Club.

As part of an effort to save and honor endangered elephants, persons who donate grooming items or bread for elephants will be admitted free and a 17-year-old trapeze artist will sing her soon-to-be released song “I Am The Circus,” which will also benefit circus elephants.

BIG TOP—The giant circus tent will be erected around 10 a.m. Carson & Barnes is known as the “Biggest of the Big Tops.”

Tickets at the gate Thursday will be $16 for adults and $10 for children.
